🚨 Hazing Victims in Craighead County, Arkansas: You Are Not Alone

If your child was hazed at Arkansas State University, a local college, or any Greek organization in Craighead County, we can help. Attorney 911 is fighting this battle right now — and we will fight for Craighead County families with the same determination.

This Is Happening in Craighead County Too

We are currently litigating a $10 million hazing lawsuit against Pi Kappa Phi and the University of Houston. Our client was waterboarded, forced to do 500 squats until he collapsed, and hospitalized with kidney failure from the abuse.

The same fraternities operate at Arkansas State University and other Craighead County institutions. The same “traditions” exist. The same negligence allows it to continue.

If your child was hazed in Craighead County, we will fight for you.

What Hazing Looks Like in Craighead County

Hazing isn’t just “boys being boys” or “harmless fun.” It’s abuse, torture, and sometimes manslaughter. In our current case, the victim was subjected to:

• Waterboarding with a garden hose — simulated drowning, a form of torture
• Forced to do 500 squats and 100 pushups until he couldn’t stand
• Struck with wooden paddles — physical assault
• Forced to eat until vomiting, then made to keep running
• Sleep deprivation — forced to drive fraternity members at all hours
• Psychological torture — carrying sexual objects, threats of expulsion

This same abuse happens at Craighead County universities and colleges. If your child was hazed, they may have experienced similar treatment.

Universities Near Craighead County Have the Same Problems

The University of Houston owned the fraternity house where our client was tortured. They knew about prior hazing incidents and did nothing to stop it.

Arkansas State University and other Craighead County institutions face the same liability. If they own or control Greek housing, if they receive complaints about hazing, if they fail to act — they are responsible when students are hurt.

Frequently Asked Questions for Craighead County Families

Q: What if my child “consented” to hazing?

A: Consent is NOT a defense under Arkansas law. Even if your child agreed to participate, the organization can still be held liable.

Q: What if the hazing happened off-campus?

A: Hazing is illegal on or off campus. If it was part of fraternity/sorority activities, the organization and university can still be held liable.

Q: What if my child was a “ghost rush” (not yet enrolled)?

A: Organizations can be held liable for hazing anyone they recruit — even if they’re not yet students. Our current client was a ghost rush.

Q: What if my child is afraid of retaliation?

A: We protect our clients. The law prohibits retaliation against hazing victims. We will ensure your child’s safety and privacy.

Q: How much does it cost to hire Attorney 911?

A: $0 upfront. We work on contingency — we only get paid if we win your case.

Q: How long does a hazing lawsuit take?

A: Every case is different. Some settle in months; others take years. We work to resolve your case as quickly as possible while maximizing your compensation.

Q: What if my child is an immigrant or international student?

A: Your immigration status does not affect your right to compensation. We serve all Craighead County families, regardless of background.

Q: Can we sue if no one was physically injured?

A: Yes. Psychological trauma (PTSD, anxiety, depression) from hazing is compensable. We pursue claims for emotional distress.

Q: What if the fraternity/sorority is already suspended?

A: That doesn’t prevent you from suing. In fact, it may be evidence of institutional knowledge — they knew the chapter was dangerous.
